Like a man who eats nothing but cavier and champagne until he loses all taste for them, Southern Calif ornians have become immune to the variegated scenic beauties that sur- round them on all sides. They long to travel — to see the deserts of Arabia, the excitement of the Riveria, the enchantment of the Alps with its lofty snow-shroud peaks like that of the Mat- terhorn shown below rising steeply against the sky. And yet, almost in their own back yard they can find sites equal in glamour, exotic beauty and grandeur as are seen anywhere in the world. At the left is a typically California scene. At San Gorgonio, Waterman, Snow Valley, Arrow- head, Tahoe — and many other places up and down the length of the state, this picture could be duplicated. Less than two hours drive from Los Angeles every conceivable winter sport, from skiing to tobogganing is available, and at night it ' s beer and pretzels in a snow-banked lodge.

We, in Southern California, have a carbon of them all. Risinj; aliove Barns iieai ' Zermatt in the Valais ground of the Alps. Matterhorn.
